[Mapserver-users] (newbie): Win32 Apache error when calling Mapserv.exe

[Balkanu GIS]

Hi all,

I'm just getting started with Mapserver (well, not even that!) - I have
Apache 1.3.27 running on Windows2000 and am trying to run the Mapserver 4.0
demo application. 

I try to test the MapServer application according to the tutorial
instructions, with the URL
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?
And Apache returns the following error 500:
[error] Unrecognized character \x90 at c:/phpdev/www/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe
line 1.

Can anyone give a suggestion what might be wrong?

TIA
